A special investigation team (SIT) may be formed to probe the alleged RERA (Real Estate Regulation and Development Act) scam involving builders from Dombivali area of Maharashtra's Thane district, a senior police official said on Thursday.

Cases under various Indian Penal Code provisions have been registered in Manpada and Ram Nagar police stations in Dombivali against 65 developers for allegedly fabricating permissions for RERA registration and in the process cheating the local civic body, Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ashol Morale told reporters.
